You might be familiar with the positive effects of yoga on the body and mind, but did you know that muscles on the face and neck can benefit from the process as well?

Look Snatched With Face Yoga

Search #faceyoga on Tiktok, and you’ll find that it’s become a social media fad that has over 1.7 billion views on the app. Even celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Meghan Markle are said to be fans.

But what is face yoga and how does it work? The answer is simple: Just like yoga for the body, face yoga involves deep stretches that can work the muscles in the face.

Essentially, face yoga is "a blend of facial exercises, which can be combined with deep breathing and facial massages", shares Sarah Ng, a face yoga instructor with Jal Yoga.

"It is a type of resistance exercise that works internally on muscles beneath the skin, and serves as the foundation to activate, lift and tone the muscles, while [the] massages work on the external to release tension, relax and define," she explains.

Sarah, who is also a certified gua sha teacher, combines face yoga with facial massages and gua sha techniques. The result? An improved complexion, more defined jawline, and a more lifted appearance.

"Sometimes, people think that I’ve done fillers on my cheeks," she quips.

In addition to helping you achieve a more symmetrical and lifted face, it’s said that exercising your facial muscles can also encourage better face posture, according to content creator and certified face yoga instructor Christabel Chua.

The 32-year-old explains that the enhanced circulation helps promote collagen production – a protein that gives skin its elasticity and volume. "My skin has stayed more radiant throughout the years (with face yoga), and with better blood circulation, my overall complexion looks more toned and lifted," she shares.
